<h3>Enhanced vxStats device support</h3>
<p>Incorporated various changes to the vxStats device support by Andy Foster
that have been in use at APS for over a year. This version adds the ability to
see absolute memory use in addition to the percentage figures available before,
and also gives information on the number of file desciptors in use. These new
figures use the longin record type, thus a new device support entry is provided
in base.dbd to enable it. See the comments in
<tt>src/dev/vxStatsDev/devVXStats.c</tt> for more detail on the new facilities
and an example database.</p>

<h3>Revised Search Message Minimum Period Reset Values</h3>
<p>The CA client library's disconnected channel search message minimum period
now resets to a higher value if a channel disconnects or if a server beacon
anomaly is seen. Up until this release the R3.13 behavior was to reset to the
same search message interval used when a channel was created. The new
behavior is closer to what is implemented in EPICS R3.14.</p>
